Vandal Joseph Ferchal was so drunk he could not remember kicking the wing-mirrors off two parked vehicles.

The 22-year-old was walking home in the early hours of November 18 when homeowners saw him damage a pick-up truck and Ford Fiesta.

Ferchal, of Botany Bay Road, Northwood, was arrested at the scene and told police he could not remember what had happened to the vehicles.

Now he has been handed a £145 fine and ordered to pay compensation to the two motorists after admitting two criminal damage charges at North Staffordshire Justice Centre.

Prosecutor Emma Thompson said: “In the early hours of the morning, when the defendant was too drunk to remember what he had done, one witness saw him repeatedly kicking a Ford Fiesta and knocking off its wing-mirror.

“Another witness saw him kicking the red Fiesta before moving up to a white pick-up truck. Two other vehicles were targeted in a similar manner but no-one saw what actually happened.”

James Hulse, representing Ferchal, told the court that his client accepted causing the damage during his police interview.
